The English A.A. degree gives students a broad based background in writing, literature, and language analysis. It prepares students for the further study of English or a related field at a four-year school; it also supports a wide range of career options, emphasizing as it does the communication and analytic skills that provide a necessary foundation for many different endeavors.

NOTE: Students who plan to major in English at a four-year college or university would be well advised to check with an ARC counselor because four-year schools differ widely in the ways in which they construct their English majors.
